A yvoMAN's IHEROISM.
Fatally Burned In the Effort co save
the Life or Negro Child.

A Columbia Is. c. SPECIAL says: A
special from Pickens reports an act Of
heroism on the part of Il well-known
lady OF that county. A few nights ago
a negro family on the plantation of Mr.
George W. Cox locked their sick child
in their cabin and went off to a revival
meeting about two miles distant. Du-
ring their absence the cabin caught
on fire and the flames were discoy-
cred by Mrs. Sallie Cox, whose hus-
band was absent from home. Mrs. Cox
knew that the sick child was locked up,
so without summoning any assistance
she procured an axe, broke open the
door, rushed into the burning cabin,
picked up the helpless, almost sufiocated,
child, and ran out with it, but as she
reached the threshold n part of the burn
ing wall fell on her and knocked her
down. She held close to the child, how
ever, and shielded it from the fire by
wrapping part of her dress around it.
Her husband fortunately arrived on the
scene and rescued her from the flames.
The brave woman saved the child, but in
cured such burns that she is not ex-
pected to live.

A COOL ROBBERY.
The Remarkable Tx pIoit OF n Buffalo
Thief.

A Buffalo telegram says : One Of the
coolest robberies that has been known in
this city for many day occurred to-
day, when an unknown thief took SO. 200
from the park-commissioners Office in
the City HALL and quietly walked down
stairs and ont of the building. At the
opening of banking. hours this morning
General ". 7. Rogers, who had come
up from the Soldiers Home at
Bath. Of which he has recently
been appointed superintendent, to
complete his duties as secretary OF the
park commissioners and turn over the
Office to his successor, Mr.. David Gray,
drew s., 900 from the Manufacturers and
Traders Bank, and placed it in russell
leather bag, which bad been i'll use for
years for this purpose. He then return
ed TO his office. on the third floor in the
county and city hall, where some of the
park employees were waiting to draw
their salaries. The bag was deposited
on the long green bsize-covered table in
the session-room of the Park Board, un-
strapped, and $500 taken ont. General
Rogers then seated himself at desk
scarcely two yards away from the table
and proceeded to pay off the men in
waiting.
While he was thus engaged he heard
some one enter the room and almost i'm
mediately walk out again. He turned
in his chair and saw that the bag was
gone. Overcome with excitement the
General staggered to the door connect
ing the two offices and caught sight OF
man wearing a short, dark coat and
black derby hat iusc passing through
the outer door into the corridor. Stun
ned with the magnitude of the loss
the victim of the theft paused for an in
slant to grasp the situation, and then
rushed into the hall shouting: stop
that man with Il satchel J" In all
probability there were fifty people
in the corridor mt the time, and the ex
element and confusion became intense,
when, q few minutes later, cries OF
"Stop thief" were heard proceeding
from the upper floor. Everybody rushed
for the stairways, save few who had
heard the first cry, and these tackled a
Cattaraugus-couuty lawyer, who hap
pened at that juncture to come out Of
the Supreme-Court room, with satchel
filed with legal documents in his hand
Before any one could learn just what
had occurred the thief made good his
escape.
Upon re-entering bis Office General
Rogers found the leather bag which had
contained the money lying under the
table in the outer room, and beside it
were two rolls of bills containing 800
each. His first cry, "Stop that man
with a bag was accordingly mislead-
ing, and to this unfortunate circum-
stance the thief doubtless owed his
escape.

TERRITORY or ALASKA.
GOV, ruor suiuefOrc's Annual Report
Showing increasing Prosperity.
by telegraph to the DlspstC

WASHINGTON, November IA. P.
Swineford, the Governor of Alaska, in
his annual report says: The population
of the Territory is estimated as follows:
Whites, 5000; Creoles practically
white). 1900; Aleuts, $500 natives,
partially educated and civilized, $500;
total civilized population, 1900; I'M
civilized natives, 26,S0O-total popu-
lation, 80, 400 Ten million dollars
is conservative estimate Of the
value of all taxable property in
the Territory, exclusive of the Alaska
Commercial Companys establishment
on the Seal islands. Very little has been
accomplished or attempted in the way of
agricultural development-tbis, notwith-
standing there is very considerable
acreage OF tillable land in Southeastern
Alaska, with a soil that produces most
luxurious vegetation. Experiments
which have been made leave no room
for doubt that all the cereals except corn
can be grown to perfection in many sec
tons. Nothing has yet been done in
the way of stock-raising. On the
subject of mines and minerals,
the Governor says wonderful results
are Beng produced. The great mine
and mill on Douglas island have been in
steady operation during the year, turn
out gold bullion at the rate of 100000
per month. At one point Boston com
psny is erecting a mill with 100 head of
stamps. Several mills have been put in
operation i'll Silver-Bow basin, and large
quantities of high grade ore have been
found. Rich discoveries have also been
made in the region of Beavers bay, and
rich placer disgings have been reported
found on Shitando river or Forty-Alile
creek.
The products of the fisheries for the
year he estimates at over 11,500,0O0
pounds OF canned and Ii, 900 barrels Of
salt salmon. The whole fisheries have
produced in the neighborhood of 600, 900
gallons Of oil and %, 600 pounds of bone,
about the same as last year. The annual
catch OF cod amounts to about 5000, 900
pounds. The total value of the product
of the Alaskan fisheries for the year is es-
timated at 81. 900, 900.

NEW YORK, November Mayor
Hewitt takes hand in politics to-day
by writing letter to the secretary Of
the Harlem Democratic Club. His
Honor makes the following points :
"After the presidential election of 1876
this community became tired of what
was denominated boss rule. 1t de-
termined to put an end to personal
politics. | took an active part in
the movement and was punished by
the refusal on the part of the Democratic
machine to renominate me for Congress.
But [ have encountered another and a
new kind OF boss, who has given me a
great deal OF unsought advice and n
large amount of unnecessary bulldozing.
| refer to a newspaper boss, sitting in
his editorial sanctum like a brooding
Buddha. He does not hesitate to claim
omniscience and to. endow himself with
omnipotonce. The political boss was
responsible only to his party the new
paper boss is responsible to his own
pocket. He is as dangerous as he is
despotic he must be suppressed. Other
wise parties, upon the healthful exist
encc of which a free government de-
ponds, will be destroyed, and voters will
be compelled to choose between news
paper tickets instead of party nomina-
tons. Republicans who, in my own
case, refused to endorse Democratic
candidate. we're prompt enough to seize
the opportunity to foment discord
in the ranks of their opponents
by the open nominations of two
Democrats, thus making the hui
initiating confession that they have no
men in their own party who have the
courage and ability to effect reform, pro-
mote justice, and punish crime. The de.
duction from these facts is clear that the
Nicoll movement is in its inception a
newspaper-advertising dodge, and in its
conclusion disgraceful strategem Of the
Republican managers to demoralize the
Democratic party, in the hope that the
confusion thus produced will determine
the presidential contest of 1888 in favor
of politicians who were driven from
power in 1884 by the election of Grover
Cleveland"
